Crafting a Green Legacy A member of Qatari Diar GSAS Technical Guide 2015 - Issue 2 Page 7 GSAS TECHNICAL GUIDE Chairman’s Message GORD has come a long way since pioneering the Global Sustainability Assessment System (GSAS), formerly known as (QSAS), the Middle East’s first integrated and performance-based green building assessment rating system in 2009. Our mission is to encourage the development and implementation of sustainability principles and imperatives stems from the sustainable goals outlined in Qatar National Vision 2030, which aims to achieve sustainable economic development and environmental leadership. GSAS draws from top-tier global sustainability systems and adds new facets and dimensions to the current practices in assessing the sustainability of the built environment. Modeled on best practices from the most established global rating schemes including, but not limited to, BREEAM (United Kingdom), LEED (United States), GREEN GLOBES (Canada), CEPAS (Hong Kong), CASBEE (Japan), and the International SBTOOL, GSAS has grown into a pan-regional system offering a comprehensive framework, and equally flexible to incorporate the specific needs of the local context of different regions.

GSAS has become one of the most comprehensive systems, to date, that addresses the built environment from a macro level to a micro level targeting a wide range of building typologies. The system manuals suite provides recommendations and guidelines for the effective implementation of the sustainability goals of each criterion. As more research is carried out on the rating system, the manuals will be further developed to keep users informed on updates within the constantly evolving GSAS rating systems.

Last but not least, the continuous support from Qatari Diar Real estate Investment Company is highly appreciated, and without its support, GSAS would not be able to achieve what it has achieved in such a short time. Each category measures a different aspect of the project’s environmental impact, see Fig. 1.2. 1.3.4. These categories are then broken down into specific criteria that measure and define these individual issues. These issues range from a thorough review, for instance of water consumption to an assessment of light quality. Using negative scale allows criteria with greater impact to be emphasized and to trade off that negative impact by creating higher level of building performance in the remaining criteria.

Mr. Ghanim Bin Saad Al Saad Chairman and Managing Director - Barwa Eng. GSAS Building Typologies: Design Assessment v2.1 PAGE 11 16 GSAS Building Typologies: Design Assessment v2.1 PAGE 12 17 PREFACE The primary objective of Global Sustainability Assessment System (GSAS) is to create a sustainable built environment that minimizes ecological impact while addressing the specific regional needs. GSAS design evaluates the aspects of the design process that have a lasting environmental impact, performs measurements related to normative standards and accepted practices, and considers what impacts the project can mitigate. Projects that can be rated include buildings that have not been previously rated. The scope includes Commercial, Core and Shell, Residential, Education, Mosques, Hotels and Light Industrial building types. Although all types of buildings can be evaluated using the same process and share the same fundamental measurement principles, there are differences among the building types that are addressed with slightly different evaluations. These differences include the applicability of criteria, the types of measurements required within a particular criterion and specific reference values or scoring thresholds. The GSAS design system evaluates all the building types with the same assessment system, but does highlight the differences between the building types when required. The GSAS design system evaluates a building over the course of the design process. A project receives its certification following the completion of the design verification process. For mixed typology buildings, projects will perform a complete assessment for each building type within the project. The final score will be an aggregation of the scores achieved for each assessment. For example, if a building is 20 Commercial and 80 Residential, the project will be assessed using both GSAS Commercial and GSAS Residential rating systems. The final score is aggregated by factoring the individual assessed scores with the respective percent representation of each building type. The Score section of the assessment lists the range of possible compliance levels and the score associated with each level. Calculated values should be rounded to the nearest value presented within the ranges. For a criterion where the final score is based on the average of two or more factors, if the average is not a whole number, it should be rounded to the nearest whole number. Some exceptions may apply based on the unique conditions of the project, and such exceptions will be determined, on a case-by-case basis, by the Certification Authority based on requests or submittals from the project. Examples of these exceptions include, but are not limited to, the following: GSAS Building Typologies: Design Assessment v2.1 PAGE 15 20 For a criterion where the measurement does not apply, the project will automatically earn a baseline score of 0 without needing to complete the measurement process such as performing simulations, completing the calculator, etc. In most cases, the project should complete the measurement process as defined by the criterion. Exemptions will not be given based on pre-existing or inevitable conditions. For example, if a project selects a site with high ecological value and inevitably must degrade the site in order for any development to take place, then the project will receive a low score for degrading the site. In order to facilitate the evaluation of certain quantitative measurements, GSAS calculators were developed for many criteria to compute the project s performance and determine a final criterion score. Because the calculators are normative measures developed with available standards and technologies, new technologies may not yet be addressed in the GSAS Calculators. GSAS will continue to perform studies of new technologies as they become available in order to recalibrate the Calculators for future versions. In the meantime, projects will be able to demonstrate the actual performance of these new technologies in the Operations phase and gain credit, if applicable, for an update to their GSAS Certification Level. The following subsections describe the scope of each building typology in further detail. For a summary of the list of criteria that are included for each building typology, refer to the CRITERIA SUMMARY section. GSAS Building Typologies: Design Assessment v2.1 PAGE 16 21 COMMERCIAL GSAS Commercial is intended to evaluate the impact of new commercial buildings. Included in commercial building types are spaces that serve various functions such as offices, conference rooms, dining areas and kitchens, foyers, retail spaces, and ancillary areas. GSAS recognizes that the final building design and the fit-out of tenant spaces can be unknown for core and shell projects. Nevertheless, to comprehensively and accurately evaluate a core and shell building, all criteria must be assessed. Examples of tenant types include typical occupancies such as office, retail, restaurant, and sports. Thus, for spaces where tenant fit-out is part of the design package, measurements will be calculated for all applicable spaces. The tenant lease agreements mandate the specific criteria scores based on targets set by the owner to meet a desired overall certification level. The final score for a criterion is based on the lower of the calculated versus mandated score. Criteria are to be assessed at the time of tenant fit-out completion and before move in to show compliance. After the construction of the core and shell building is complete, the project will undergo design verification similar to GSAS Commercial Assessment. The core and shell project will also undergo the GSAS Operations Assessment as required. The tenant lease agreement must be a legally binding document signed by both the owner and the tenant. It must clearly identify the specific criterion and minimum score to be achieved. Compliance with the tenant lease agreement is assessed at the time of tenant fit-out completion and before move in. A minimum score is not required. Each criterion specified above may have various scoring scenarios depending on whether none, all, or some of the tenant fit-out spaces are part of the design package. The three scenarios are as follows: All tenant fit-out spaces are part of the design package: If all tenant fit-out spaces for a particular criterion are part of the design package, measurements will be calculated for the applicable spaces. A tenant lease agreement is not needed in this scenario since the design of applicable spaces is known and therefore can be assessed directly. However, if all tenant fit-out spaces for all criteria are part of the design package, the owner should pursue GSAS Commercial assessment. The final score in this scenario is the mandated score stipulated in the tenant lease agreement. The final criterion score will be based on the lower of the calculated score of the designed spaces versus the tenant lease agreement minimum mandated score. For example, a four story core and shell retail building has a total of four tenant fit-out spaces available for lease and only one of those spaces is part of the design package. The final criterion score will be based on the lower of the calculated score of the designed tenant fit-out space versus the minimum mandated score for the three undesigned spaces. This is intended for demonstration purposes only. The language to be included in the contract should adhere to legal stipulations determined by the owners and their leasing contract. In the following example, the minimum scores or requirement will be mandated by the owner to achieve the desired certification level. Score: -1,0,1,2,3 Ensure light levels that have been designed in line with best practices for visual performance and comfort. Score: -1,0,1,2,3 Optimize the exposure of daylight for interior spaces in order to improve light quality for building occupants and reduce the need for artificial lighting. Score: -1,0,1,2,3 Minimize direct or reflected glare within occupied spaces to improve visual comfort for occupants. Score: -1,0,1,2,3 Provide occupants with access to external views. Score: -1,0,1,2,3 Meet minimum requirements for acoustic quality within the building. Score: -1,3 Meet minimum emissions targets for indoor materials and finishes to ensure the comfort and health of occupants. Score: -1,0,1,2,3 Minimize potentially hazardous airborne contaminants affecting building occupants. The scores for E.3, E.4, and E.5 are not needed since the results for these criteria are based on inputs determined in E.1 and E GSAS Building Typologies: Design Assessment v2.1 PAGE 20 25 The minimum scores or requirements above are legally binding and must be achieved before tenant move in. RESIDENTIAL GSAS Residential is intended to evaluate the impact of new residential buildings. GSAS Residential acknowledges the varying scales of residential projects, from single-family, detached homes to highrise condominiums. To accommodate this range of projects, GSAS defines two residential types: Single and Group. Both Single and Group residential types are assessed under the same GSAS Residential system. However, the assessment and scoring of each type may vary depending on the level of applicability of each criterion. The flexibility of the rating system is important so that residential projects can be appropriately assessed according to their environmental impact while maintaining consistency. For the purposes of GSAS Residential, the two housing types are defined as follows: SINGLE: An individual house, attached or detached, that is less than or equal to 4 stories. GROUP: All other residential building types including: A residential grouping of two or more houses attached or detached. Any other residential projects such as a multi-unit apartment, condominium building, or group of buildings. Within GSAS Residential, some criteria are not assessed for Single housing types. In general, this applies to criteria in which a single unit has a negligible environmental impact. Furthermore, for certain criteria the project may inherit the score from its development. In this case, the project is not assessed as an autonomous unit, but rather as part of the greater development. The overall development would achieve a certain score that would be directly applied to the individual unit. The scope of a project, site limits, and area of development considered for GSAS Residential are defined as follows: Scope of Evaluation: GSAS Residential will consider the property limits of the site and the built environment on the site as the unit of evaluation and measurement. Site: Any specified area or piece of land submitted by a project for assessment. Certain criteria may include adjacent areas of land as part of the evaluation process. If more than one building is located on a site, each building will be evaluated separately and will receive separate scores. Development: A site and the built environment on the site designed as a single construction project. GSAS Building Typologies: Design Assessment v2.1 PAGE 21 26 EDUCATION GSAS Education is intended to evaluate the impact of new K-12 school buildings, as well as college and university facilities. Typical spaces found within K-12 school buildings serve various functions such as classrooms, libraries, auditoriums, gymnasiums, cafeterias, kitchens, and offices. Because colleges and universities often consist of multiple building types on a larger campus site, all buildings will be assessed separately according to the applicable GSAS typology. For example, buildings that are used primarily as an educational facility such as classrooms and lecture halls will be rated using GSAS Education. Additionally, campus sports facilities will be rated using GSAS Sports, dormitories and student housing will be rated using GSAS Residential, and administrative buildings will be rated under GSAS Commercial. Buildings not covered under an applicable GSAS typology, such as laboratories or hospitals, will be excluded from the assessment. MOSQUES GSAS Mosques is intended to evaluate the impact of new mosques. If the design for the mosque includes separate buildings not intended for congregational prayers, such as a residence for an Imam, only the building containing the congregational worship areas will be assessed and rated under GSAS Mosques. Other buildings within the development or compound will be assessed separately under the appropriate GSAS building typology. In other building typologies, certain GSAS criteria require multiple typical occupancy areas to be measured, such as offices and reception areas for Commercial buildings. For GSAS Mosques, the only occupancy type considered for the purposes of assessment are prayer halls. HOTELS GSAS Hotels is intended to evaluate the impact of new hotels. Included in hotel building types are spaces that serve various functions such as guestrooms, lobbies, banquet halls, offices, conference rooms, dining areas and kitchens, fitness centers, retail spaces, and ancillary areas. LIGHT INDUSTRY GSAS Light Industry is intended to evaluate the impact of new light industrial facilities. Light industrial buildings are facilities that use labor intensive operations primarily to produce consumer goods. The intent is to produce final products for user consumption, not to manufacture or produce equipment and products that are used in other manufacturing processes. Light industrial facilities have a smaller environmental impact than heavy industry. In addition to manufacturing and processing, light industrial facilities can include distribution warehouses and storage facilities, dedicated cold storage facilities, and workshops. GSAS Building Typologies: Design Assessment v2.1 PAGE 22 27 Light industrial facilities include different types of spaces that have to be evaluated under the GSAS Light Industry rating system. The primary spaces to be measured include the General Building, Office Areas, and Operational Areas. For each criterion, the measurements may require one or more of these spaces to follow unique measurements or scoring standards. General Building: Pertains to the entire building and does not require separate measurements for any specific spaces. Office Areas: Spaces that are dedicated to the support and administration of light industrial facilities. These can include office spaces, meeting rooms, or staff support areas. Operational Areas: Spaces in which the industrial process is carried out. These can include spaces with industrial equipment, functional warehouse spaces, cold storage spaces, delivery areas, waste, and storage areas. GSAS Light Industry evaluates impacts associated with the building, not the industrial process itself. Only industrial impacts that affect the building and site are included in the assessment. GSAS Building Typologies: Design Assessment v2.1 PAGE 23 28 TYPICAL OCCUPIED SPACES For each building typology, there are individual components that may require unique measurements. Many measurements in GSAS rate the site and building as a whole entity and therefore do not need to measure individual building components separately. However, for different categories, different building typologies require different types of measurements in individual spaces. Table 5 outlines the typical occupied spaces that may have unique measurements for some criteria. Refer to the individual criterion to determine the different measurements that are required. Thus, verification will take place in two phases Provisional Certificate and Final Certificate. During Provisional Certificate, projects assessed under GSAS Design that achieve at least a 1 Star rating will be issued a provisional certificate. The provisional certificate enables the project to apply for a permit to begin the construction process. The provisional certificate does not designate the project as a GSAS certified building. After construction is complete, projects must resubmit certain requirements for Final Certificate. For any requirements not adequately met during Final Certificate, the credit for that criterion will be revoked and the score will be recalculated. Based on results of the Final Certificate, the project will be given a final score and issued a GSAS certification if the constructed project meets or exceeds minimum requirements. GSAS Building Typologies: Design Assessment v2.1 PAGE 28 33 INSTRUCTIONS GSAS Design assesses the ecological impacts of new buildings. The rating system is comprised of this manual and an accompanying Design Guidelines to describe best practices associated with completing the assessment system. GSAS Design is divided into eight categories that define the ways a project can impact the environment. Each category measures a different aspect of the project s environmental impact and addresses ways in which a project can mitigate the negative environmental effects. The categories are then broken down into specific criteria that measure and define individual issues. The issues range from a thorough review of water consumption to an assessment of light quality. Each criterion specifies a process for measuring individual aspects of environmental impact and for documenting the degree to which the requirements have been met. A score is then awarded to each criterion based on the degree of compliance. Each of the criteria in the assessment system contains the following elements: SCOPE Lists all building typologies that are in scope and must be assessed by this criterion. DESCRIPTION Outlines the intent of the criterion. MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE Summarizes the overall principle of how the criterion will be measured. MEASUREMENT Describes, in detail, the steps and requirements the project must take in order to demonstrate criterion compliance. Additionally, for certain criteria that require complex computation, tools are provided to facilitate calculations. SUBMITTAL Provides information on computation or documentation requirements that the project needs to submit in order to demonstrate compliance. These include plans, drawings, simulations, specifications, reports, or calculations. GSAS Building Typologies: Design Assessment v2.1 PAGE 29 34 SCORE Lists the range of possible compliance levels and the score associated with each level. DESCRIPTION Minimize the amount of new infrastructure construction by selecting a site near available connections to existing infrastructure or seeking on-site off-grid solutions. MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE All projects will minimize the amount of new infrastructure construction required to meet the needs of the building. MEASUREMENT All projects will complete the Proximity to Infrastructure Calculator to determine the percentage of the infrastructure needs that can be met by existing, available infrastructure connections or through alternative on-site solutions.
